dell inspiron 14R with i5 480, 4gig ram, 500gig HDD (7200rpm) intel HD graphic... for 2299 its a good deal isn it? plus free 2years in house warranty

Hmm for that price, u can get 3820Tg with 3 years international warranty haha

err...

?? Did I say something wrong?

For that price, you can get many other laptops with better specs, that's why I meant

+1, For example: you can get Lenovo's Z460 (i5-480M + G310M@~RM2.2k) as well. And you can also extend the warranty to 2 years with an additional RM99

haha! got it... my only preference for dell only because of their after sales service... finally settled for lenovo

Weight
Thin and light. you can take the notebook and put in on your palm and type with the other hand

Battery Life
Fantastic

GPU
I am not a gamer so cant test those extreme games. But facebook games load fast and good

This is the table i extracted from engadget


PCMarkVantage 3DMark06 Battery Life
ASUS U36Jc (Core i5 / NVIDIA GeForce 310M) 5981 2048 / 3524 5:30
ASUS U33Jc-A1 (Core i3-370M, GeForce 310M) 5574 1860 / 3403 5:10
Toshiba Portege R705 (Core i3-350M) 5024 1739 / 3686 4:25
HP Pavilion dm1z (AMD Zacate E350) 2510 2213 5:02
ASUS Eee PC 1215N (Atom D525 / NVIDIA Ion 2) 1942 181 / 2480 5:42
Dell Inspiron M101z (dual-core AMD Neo K325) 2572 1311 3:35

Notes: the higher the score the better. For 3DMark06, the first number reflects score with GPU off, the second with it on.

Keyboard
Chicklet keyboard
Nothing to shout about. But if have balcklit keyboard then it will be better

USB3.0
No device to test yet

Recovery
Built in hidden partition. No need backup disk or other devices

Sound
Not good. Cant even beat my eeepc Dobly sound system

Windows startup
I found it slow. But after it has start up. It works fantasticly.
Open software such as Microsoft Office is fast
Browser Mozzila, browsing lowyat.net. Very fast

Asus Express Gate/Cloud
Fast boot up. can use to browse net.
then can either switch to OS or shut down directly.
Sort of dual boot function

For ur boot time, try removing all the bloatwares and configure ur startup programs to improve it

yes, i am figuring that. And i found out after installing antivirus such as Norton 360.
The whole thing getting slow down

Additional review
Charger - Standard size charger. Hope to get a charger like EEEPC

Charging time - Very Long

Haha Norton slows down the system very much.. Why not consider using Avast or ESET4?

why the list so long time not yet update ?? almost half year already

Working on it LOL, still lacking a few brochures

wow! kayau2!

How's the keyboard bro, any "feel" while typing?
U36Jc don't have USB3.0 iinm? There was some error in information in the previous Asus brochure...
Wah, the sound really that bad? LOL

the keyboard i think is ok. But is too big for my hand. I like EEEPC keyboard.

Come with USB3.0

But optimus technology. not so sure because my U36JC dont have Optimus Sticker
